The Internet of Vehicles is a network of connected automobiles that can communicate with one another. In the IoV environment, vehicles and sensors, pedestrians, mobile devices, and networking devices are the primary components; improving road safety, proper guidance while driving, autonomous driving, traffic management, infotainment, and entertainment. But with rapid growth in the number of automobiles, high vehicle mobility and networking devices; it isn’t easy to achieve the requirements needed for the operation and management of IoV. Next-generation technologies such as 5th Generation (5G) and Software Defined Network (SDN) technologies can significantly address these challenges. These technologies will provide potential solutions for efficient management, enhance the performance of IoV. In this paper, we performed simulation with these technologies in the real world vehicular network along with performance evaluation. In comparison to traditional vehicle networks, our findings show that 5G and software-defined vehicular networks have a lower transmission delay and higher throughput.
